At this point it’s conjecture. I was making the point that the nondisclosure did not need to go both ways so DJT did not have to be aware of the agreement and the fact that he didn’t sign it supports that it was handled by his lawyer.
Perhaps in the end we will have more facts perhaps not. In my opinion it is an irrelevancy. I parse it one way and you another, thank you for your courtesy.
You’re welcome. Appreciate your courtesy too.
High fiving you- thank you. I’ll promise to be good here on out:)
Thank you-I was up at 6 am drinking coffee reading at my favorite place (here) and hadn’t turned on news or read twitter yet when I posted:)
